one of the men was in the horse building
when his lantern exploded, igniting the

An examination OF Louis Lingg's cell
shows that he did not Kill himself with a
Illuminating cap but with "A dynamite
bomb During the search of the cell large
pieces Of gas pipe were found, one two
inche long The masonry was torn from
the walls by the force OF tho explosion,
ana the condition OF the walls OF The cell
bear out the theory that bomb was what
lie used when he put an end 10 his exist
ence.
Another curious history Of that fearful
yet brief existence has come out from a
Jail Official who learned II through one Of
lingg's chums. The secret OF Llngg ear
ly life has heretofore been We'll kept. in
fact very little of IT was ever allowed TO
come out even though the police knew it
The Jail officers story Is as follows:
"LIngg was born IN town IN Germany
called Mannheim. hls mother Is dress
maker there and pretty well TODD, anu
shortly after her son was condemned TO
death she wrote him "A long letter That
letter was never made public. 1t ought
not TO be, and am only going TO tell you
so much of its contents a. may suit the
purpose OF my story. She gave up all nope
for him on learning the facts that came
out on his trial and told him 10 die
bravely. she sent HIM no money
though she could afford 10 do so, and
-
tainty that her son was to die. they were
not disclosed in the letter. She must be a
woman of uncommon will-power. Doubt
less II was from her that Lingg inherited
his resolution.
Iiuggs father was nObleman; his
mother came from the humber classes.
Her parents were dependents and lived on
the estate Of this noblemau's father. The
girl was comely, and an intimacy sprang
up between her and the son OF the Oil
noblemAn. IL was the old story. Ltngg
was not born in wedlock. We know tnat
Capt Setback knows II, and we know
further that Llngg hated MS father with a
| ferOcity that was terrible. lie hated the
| class 20 which his father belonged. The
/ nobleman came from family of soldiers
! there - where Lingg got his stubborn
/ physical courage. From child until he
| was l6 he was made To suffer the taunts
and insults of his playmates. lie was
! sensitive and these afronts embittered
| his whole life.
At i6 he was sent to Switzerland. There
/ he was brought upin the society of revolu

| Europe. lie learned TO plot and scheme
as easily as duck taEes to water. But
